1B20 News-in-Demand
editor's note
Hello and welcome to the special holiday edition of 1b20 news. There has been a lot of speculation and confusion regarding a change of class next semester. The reason why this is so, is because many of you did not attend the class chalet, and you missed a first hand interview with our very own care-person, miss tan ee ling. All i can say is... OBI GOOD! but of course, our top class news coverage will never fail to enlighten you. so for this special edition, our news correspondent, Gerald, will sacrifice himself for an interview with the director of tp.
Gerald: Good morning, how has life changed for u after marriage?
Director: Sorry but i do not take personal questions.
Gerald: Alright then, lets move on to the next question. there has been much speculation about the changing of classes recently. some say that the whole class will split, others begged to differ. what's your say on this issue?
Director: i would like to say this once and for all. do not listen to your seniors saying that the whole class will split up. yes, in the past, the whole class did split up, but due to students' negative feedback, the new FAST system for tp has looked into the situation and came up with a new academic progression system. all students who have clear passes (pass all subjects) will most likely remain in the same class next semester. that's all the information i am able to provide you for now.
Gerald: then what about our CDS?
Director: if you all remain in the same class, u will all be having same tutorial groups for all subjects, except for your CDS. the class will only split up and move into separate tutorial groups at the time of the CDS.
Gerald: What if the CDS tutorials clashes with our other subjects' tutorials? i mean we are all taking different CDS but we have the same common class timetable for our other subjects, so how will you solve this matter?
Director: Yes, this is where a major part of our decision making process comes in. the management has decided to give top priority to letting you all remain in the same class. this means you have to sacrifice your CDS. if your 1st choice CDS' tutorial clashes with your class timetable, we will not give you that CDS, and instead, we will move on with your 2nd choice... so on so forth.
(example: if muthusamy chose french as his 1st choice and he is able to get in, but his class' timetable clashes with the CDS tutorial/lecture, he will not be allowed to take french and instead, he will be posted to another CDS of his choice.)
Your CDS is the opportunity cost for remaining in the same class next semester.
Gerald: Oh my, such wise words. Thank you for your time.
Director: You're welcome, it was my pleasure.
